Arts and Crafts, Bechstein Upright Piano Rosewood Brass Hinges by Walter Cave
By Walter Cave
Located in Leeds, GB
An 1897, Arts and Crafts Bechstein upright piano with a polished, rosewood case, fretwork panels and ornate brass hinges in a stylised floral design. Unique design by Walter Cave, executed by C. Bechstein and exhibited by Maple & Co.
C. Bechstein is inscribed on a square, brass plaque on the piano fall.
The front panel features cupboard doors, which open so as to allow the music desk to fall into place. These doors occupy half the width of the front, so that they fold back out of the way of the player. The candle sconces are concealed behind the doors and brought into use when required.
The music desk is in an openwork folkloric inspired design of stylised birds, foliage and flowers.
The brass candle holders also feature cut-out stylised bird motifs.
The front panel is flanked by two circular fretwork panels backed in fabric that act as a sound box...
